It doesn't look to me like it's ignoring it, which in any event the 
server doesn't do. It looks like it's just a different file. It's not 
just the hostname that is different. For example:

...amongst (many) others.

You *can't* be editing the same file. Do you have chroot or jails or 
similar in use, and if so are you editing the file inside the 
chroot/jail or outside? Are you sure you're not leaving backup "file~" 
from editors in the directory?
